An advertising executive walks the razor's edge between truth and illusion in this powerful novel that's "a little Mad Men and a lot American Psycho" (The Skinny). Of course it's a bloody lie. It's an advertising campaign . . . James Marlowe has a gift for selling people things they don't need. But as he strives to meet the demands of amoral clients, rival colleagues, and his young family, James must up his game. A cocktail of cocaine and alcohol keeps his conscience at bay and fuels his ambition as he works. But when body and mind can't take any more, he plunges into a surreal world darker than the one he's fallen from . . . From the award-winning author of Kings of a Dead World, The Zoo is "a grippingly dark and ultimately moving story about exploitation, destruction and the possibility of redemption" (Alison Moore, Man Booker Prize finalist and author of The Lighthouse).
